Enchanting, heart-warming and heart-breaking tale

The book is a very vivid and colorful picture of a jewish boy's childhood -- his best friend, their friendship and his cherished memories of that time. Time they spent together, described with unforgettable language, full of laughs and happy smiles. There is also a clear answer to 'why there is no heaven on earth' -- sincere and heart-breaking. The book is writen softly with delicate love and dedication. You'd find yourself different once you close the last page -- as with all books written by E. Sevela
